A little background: it was a gift to him by a family in Cuba he helped bring over after Castro came to power. I know it was serviced by Patek in nyc by my father 2 years ago - so I know it is authentic.

That model is worth a milli plus

Got it - if you have any movement pics I think it would still be great to see! Maybe some of the paperwork from Patek could help identify the reference number as well.

Also, yes, more than one tick per second.

Just the fact that the Tiffany is at 12 o clock is massive. Check out Ben clymer on YouTube. There’s a video where he goes into his Patek collection, I think the video is from revolution watch.

i’ve seen the video you’re referring to but i’m pretty sure the tiffany stamp varies in location. on calatravas it appears to be consistently at 12oclock

Looks like a Calatrava from the 60s -- that might be a starting point for your research

Looks like a mid to late 1950s mode

Looking at PPs from the 50s/60s and I'm having a hard time finding one that lines up with the one you posted, just from the aspect of hands, dial markings, crown size, and lugs. It also looks like some of the minor details aren't quite right - the two markers at 6:00 and 9:00 aren't lined up, and some of the minute markers don't look quite right either (see: 47-49).
Are there any markings on the back of the watch? Are you able to remove the caseback and provide a picture of the movement? Is it automatic or manual? Is it ticking more than once per second?

Back of the watch is engraved with his initials and is manual wind.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Accepted offer1, a month later offer2 came in at 20% more. Both B4. How to best maneuver this without burning bridges? Should I ask offer1 to match? Should I just send them an email thanking them?

For anyone who owns two or more watches - how much do you wear each? Several months back I bought a second watch and have not worn the first since. Out of habit I just wear the same watch every day. I still like the first watch and don’t want to sell but also realize it’s smarter to sell if I don’t wear it. Anyone struggle with this and have tips on how to get into the habit of rotating?
